Classic Movie Legend Tribute: Alfred Hitchcock

Happy Birthday to Classic Movie Legend, Alfred Hitchcock, born on August 13th in 1899!

It’s difficult to summarize someone like Hitchcock in a blog post. His films could be complex and subversive; silly and serious; all in the same scene. A master of his craft, Hitchcock has not only made himself a household name, but a film school adjective, as well. I wouldn’t want to begin to think of all the times I heard the word Hitchcockian to describe a modern film filled with those famed Hitchcock tropes. So, how do I celebrate this man’s birthday? Well, rather than focus on the Vertigos or The Psychos of his career, I want to point out some of my favorites but, for some reason, lesser known films of the Hitchcock Legacy.
